I played in 27 different bars and pubs in Maryland for (180-200) nights a year for a decade, as a DJ. That about 2,ooo setlists I had to come up with that pleased the masses. never an easy job, but my crowd knew from the get go, I was not a country, top 40, pop (hip-hop), or rap player. That still leaves classic rock, heavy rock,what I call American rock (Bruce, Petty, Segar, etc) 80&#39;s alternative, 90&#39;s grunge, 60&#39;s and 70&#39;s motown and soul, along with reggae. The key is to never play one style or genre in large blocks. that&#39;s how you loose an audience. You do not play an REM, Cure,Radiohead,etc, in 20 minute blocks. People who hate these bands will forst get angry and then leave. but the same 3 songs peppered into maybe 2 hours(36 tunes) can work. One REM or Cure 12 songs, and the same haters will stay b/c they heard some stuff they love (I hoped) in between.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
